- In setting the uniform code, or making any changes to it, the Board of Trustees has regard for:
– Equity, practicality, affordability, health and safety, quality, availability
– Consulting with the school community over any proposed changes to the code - The Principal is responsible for:
– Approving individual departures from the code in exceptional circumstances
